Samuel Heighway founded Waynesville in 1797 and based his design for the town on an English village with formal parks and squares arranged around a central public square. Its leading industry today is tourism, as Waynesville is best known for its 85 antique shops. It’s a constant hustle and bustle downtown on Old Main Street with tourists and town residents coming and going.

Just seven miles from the county seat of Wilmington, the village enjoys the beautiful land along Todd’s Ford Creek. Many of the area’s early residents were members of the Society of Friends (Quakers). They played an important role in the Underground Railroad helping runaway slaves find freedom. An important Quaker cemetery is located just outside the village. Because of its easy reach to Interstate 71, the area is experiencing a small housing boom with homes range from mini-farms to handsome executive homes springing up. Not only is this a great place to raise and ride horses as so many homeowners do, it’s also the home of Wild Rose Llamas ranch.
